The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1887-10-15

New Freedom and Vicinity.-We owe you
and the many readers of TIE UNION an apology
for tardiness As we have no plausible excuse
let's settle the matter by promising more attention
in the future.
Farmers throughout this section have completed
their seeding and corn huskiDg is receiving much
attention. The cereal crops have on an average
been unusually light this year and stringency in
money matters is the consequence. However, as
corn is good crop and potatoes worth twice their
former value this may be the means of balancing
affairs until next year.
A serious accident occurred last Sunday night
to Mr.. Leander Smith of this place, while return
ing from Steltz's Church in company with a young
lady. It appears his horse became unmanageable
and ran away, throwing out the occupants and de-
molishing the buggy. Fortunately no one was
seriously hurt.
Grandmother Baughman, very aged lady and
mother of Mr. Amos Baughman, died last week at
Glen Rock. Her funeral was largely attended,
She left considerable property to her children.
The New Freedom cornet band furnished the
music for the Hartford county fair, ct Beair, this
week, The boys left town last Monday night at
IL o'clock to the merry strains of "The girl left
behind me-" This was quite appropriate, as more
than one graceful form will have cold feet during
their absence. .-..
The social events of the past month were the
marriages of Mr.. G. W. Gore, Of the firm of Gore
Bros, and Mr.. J. H. Boyer, well-known teacher
of Carroll county. Well vouch that Joshua will
not hereafter, when be falls over a wheebarrow,
take off his glasses to see what it was. We wish
the merry couples happy voyage over the matrl-
monial sea.
Mr.. Samuel II. Green is not enjoying good
health at present. We trust he may soon recover
from his illness.
Occasionally we meet our mutual friend Mr.. S.
Merryman Anderson. We are pleased to see by
his cheerful countenance that he likes his Penn
sylvania home. The revival season will soon find
him fully prepared for earnest religious work.
Our assistant postmaster took in the special that
carried the Presidential party westward last week.
1t is fair to presume that the beautiful Mrs. Cleve-
land gave him q passing wink that he could hold
the fort for another term for patent drop box Will
soon be added to the already handy apparatus tor
delivery.
The political aspect of our town would give
"Little Fred" of your county the ague, as it just
happens to be at present half and half, Jimmy
Blaine and our in yeterate Chamberlain enemy to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Mr.. Julius Heb, of Shrewsbury Station, has
lately put in brewing machine at an expense OF
over a thousand dollars.
During drive the other Saturday we met our
old friend OK" of Shrewsbury. He was perusing
a COPY of The UNION, no doubt scanning the
pumpkin story in print. We don't doubt "k.'s
veracity, but the trouble lies in Fred Hake's
satchel That satchel is like your finger when 1t
gets in the line of vision between your optics and
a door knob You're bound to see three knobs.
Maybe that Towsontown man who got so hllarl-
ously drunk at the Mt. Carmel barbecue had
satchel when he gave ten dollar notes for ones.
